The Gophers football program nabbed a commitment from four-star Iowa City linebacker Tate Wallace on Sunday.
The 6-foot-2, 226-pound player from Regina Catholic High School picked Minnesota over five other programs he named as finalists, including Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Arizona State and Arizona. The participant in the Navy All-American Bowl had an offer from Iowa State but not nearby Iowa.

Wallace is ranked the third-best recruit among Minnesota’s 13 pledges in the 2027 class behind Kindred, N.D. tight end Brooks Bakko and Wayzata defensive lineman Eli Diane.
In Iowa, Wallace is considered the second-best prospect in the state. Minnesota also has a commitment from Cedar Rapids offensive lineman Will Clausen.
Wallace also plays basketball, baseball and participates in track and field. In football, he also played on tight end for a 12-1 team that reached the Class 1A state championship game in November. He had a 36-yard touchdown catch in that big game.
As a junior, he was credited with 50 tackles and 9 sacks and three forced fumbles. On the other side, he had 40 receptions for 611 yards and 10 touchdowns.
